[opencms-dev] file permissions on synchronized files

[M Butcher]

Hmmm... good point. I'd never really paid any attention to that. Would 
be nice to be able to change the group and umask. As long as Tomcat's 
user can read and write to it, you should be able to set the permissions 
to something else.
